Chapter One: Mystery Guy

Buffy was sitting under a tree with Willow playing anywhere but here.

"Hmm at a swimming pool and Ethan Hawke is putting suntan lotion on me" Buffy said.

"Oh that's a good one. Ok I'm at a spa and I'm getting a back massage and a foot massage at the same time" Willow said.

"Guess who?" a guy said covering Buffy's eyes.

"Hmm John Cusack?"

Then Riley jumped out from behind her. "Nope just boring old me" he said.

"Oh it's my boyfriend" Buffy said in a happy voice.

From far away a boy was watching them looking at the girl with the blonde hair.

She will be mine he thought.

Then the guy turned back to his motorcycle and rode away.

Buffy looked over at the sound of a motorcycle. Hmm that bike looks familiar she thought.

Then she turned back to Riley and smiled. "I have to go train with Giles. I'll be back after your last class" Buffy said as she took off across the Campus.

For and hour, she trained. "So are you going to patrol tonight?" Giles asked.

"Yep Riley has Initiative business so I'm on my own. Which is good because I need some Buffy time" she said.

"Buffy are you ok?" Giles asked.

"Yes. What would be wrong?" Buffy said as she walked out the door.

She walked right into someone.

"Oh my god I'm so sorry" she said trying to gather herself up.

"Don't worry about it. I'm good with damage" the guy said as he started to walk away.

By the time Buffy realized what he said, the guy was gone.

it can't be, no it's not him she thought.

So when night time came, Buffy went to one of the cemeteries to patrol.

She has already staked two vamps but her mind was else where. So she didn't hear the four vamps creeping up behind her. They tackled her and three of the four pinned her down and she couldn't get up. Right before the head vamp bit her, she was covered in dust. Then the rest of the vamps holding her were kicked off. Buffy jumped up to see a tall figure fighting all three vamps. She couldn't see his face but his style seemed familiar. He staked two and the third one ran off. However, the guy threw the stake and the vamp was dust.

The guy looked at Buffy and ran off. She chased him but she lost him.

"God who is that guy?" Buffy asked herself.

So after a few more sweeps through town, Buffy went home. She had a message from Riley telling her about a dance party at the Bronze tomorrow. So Buffy called Xander and told him about the party and he said he would try and be there.

The next day Buffy was talking to Willow about the party when Riley ran and kissed Buffy.

"Mmm wow I missed you too" Buffy said, clearly enjoying the kiss.

"So are you two coming to the party?"

"Yes we will both be there" Buffy said looking at Willow who nodded.

Then Buffy looked at her watch. "Oh. Will, we got class in five minutes so we should go" Buffy said.

They all got up and Riley walked with her to her class. Before she walked into her class, she caught a glimpse of a tall boy with brown hair with a lethal body. She wanted to follow him but she had class. Half the school was talking about going to the Bronze for the party.

Hmm a party it might be time to approach her the guy thought.

That night Buffy had to decide what to wear.

"Hmm should I go black halter and black leather pants? No to much like Faith." Buffy said, throwing the top back into her closet.

Then she pulled out a red spaghetti strap top to go with her black leather pants. Then she did her make-up and hair. She looked at herself in the mirror.

"Oh yeah. To die for" Buffy said to herself.
